Tue, 22 Apr 2014 03:37:25 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2251100#comment-3314360I always saw Joe webb as kind of a Percy Harvin kind of player. I would line him up in the slot and backfield, and use him for kickoff returns. I think he missed his calling, he reminds me very much of Adrian Peterson. An absolutely atrocious quarterback, but people improve, I hope his game has stepped up a level from that embarrassing 2012 playoff game. That game was over before it even started.

Actually, Joe Webb and Jarius Wright rotated in that game and lit Sherman up for five receptions and two touchdowns between them. Seattle won the game, but it sure wasn’t because of anything Sherman did.
_______

Yeah, but four of those receptions and two of those touchdowns were by Wright.

Vince has a career winning record of 31-19…
Don’t turn your back on this man before giving him a chance, even if it’s third string…
GM/Coach, sit down and talk to this guy…I think he can help…..

Sat, 22 Mar 2014 17:51:13 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2251100#comment-3249873Sherman’s comments probably came after second string WR Jarius Wright toasted him for a long TD pass (from Christian Ponder) in that game.

When you get burned by Ponder and a 5’8” backup WR, it’s hard to claim you’re the best CB in football.

So, maybe it’s a failure of coaching that they never found his best position and honed his skills to really excel at that. It won’t happen, but it might be interesting for a team to hire a coach to concentrate on Project Webb to see what position (WR, TE, RB or S) best matches his talent and then really coach him up for that.

Sat, 22 Mar 2014 15:42:17 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2251100#comment-3249616People forget that playoff game against the Packers, Ponder was set to play up until 3 hours before kickoff. He got all the reps in practice. Then they put Webb in a playoff game against the Packers AT Lambeau field. He was the only player in NFL history to start a playoff game having not taken a snap during the regular season. Then Musgrave decides to keep him in the pocket while knowing full well the Packers could not stop his scrambling ability. (or anybody’s running ability for that matter) I blame the coaches fully. I don’t think Webb is a starting NFL qb long term. I think he’d be better suited at wr because he’s fast, he can catch the ball and he’s one of the most violent blockers i’ve seen in a long time. Packer fans want to mock but they forget the only reason the got to face Joe Webb is because they lost to the Christian Ponder led Vikings the week before. Have fun Panther fans, he’s fun to watch.

Sherman was just being a crybaby. His being obnoxious and a sore loser/winner is not an act. I hope Joe Webb as a QB jukes Sherman or runs him over the next time they play.

As a Vikes fan I will miss him and hope the very best. He was fun to watch for sure, but it should be obvious at this point that he does not possess the accuracy needed to play QB in the NFL.

There were a lot more pressing needs than a QB whether Cam is available or not. I do not know what planet Gettleman was on when he made this pick. I hope this works out for Webb and the Panthers.

Gettleman’s signing is a dual possibility…

He can’t be a winning quarterback no matter what kind of a game plan you give him and he was never going to be more than a special teams player. I hope he has a lot of success in Carolina and I hope the Vikings only draft players that have a position they can play in the NFL.

Webb is a fantastic athlete, and very dangerous with the ball in his hands. He just needs more time behind center to actually play the QB position. He was the Vikings best QB during the 2011 season, and I hope he gets a chance to contribute in Carolina. The Panthers are getting a class act, and a great athlete in Webb. I hope they don’t waste his talent like the Vikings did.

I was at the Green Bay Minnesota playoff game and it was embarrassing. That guy has no business being an NFL quarterback. Period. None. You can make all the excuses in the world, but the guy cant throw the ball. He was being openly mocked in the stands.

I remember one play in particular when he wound up to try and throw a deep pass and it only traveled 15 yards. There were no receivers anywhere near where the ball sputtered to the ground.

What a waste of cap space.

The comments like those that Sherman made were obviously offensive to some of the fans. In years past these same fans didn’t realize or have a clue what was being said and lived in a rose color world that didn’t have smack talk in it. If only it could remain so……….

Sat, 22 Mar 2014 02:22:17 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2251100#comment-3249010I thought the highlight of his career came in the pre game show prior to his wild card playoff loss in GB where Tony Dungy predicted on national TV that the Vikings would win because the Packers didn’t game plan for the mobility of Joe Webb.

We all know how that turned out.

Still Joe Webb has nothing to be ashamed about, the Vikings are forever choking and his game isn’t even close to the worst. I’m thinking the Vikings losing to the Giants 41-0 in the playoffs takes the cake.
